BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] The invention relates to a data instantaneous integrated system and method and, in particular, to an instantaneous integrated system and method of heterogeneous databases. [0003] 2. Related Art [0004] The big-scale enterprise usually has huge organization, complex technology resources and variant products. To properly manage the information of the enterprise (such as the personnel matters, manufacturing equipments, research, financial affairs and the likes), it is necessary to build a database for immediately and exactly managing the above-mentioned important information. However, the enterprise may have many branches distributed at different locations all over the world across the limitations of ocean and land. Different branches may have databases of different specifications. These factors will make the instantaneous integration of information in the entire enterprise non-smoothly, and thus the staff member must do some extra works to get and integrate the data from different branches. [0005] As shown in FIG. 1A, a user can operate a client device 14 to retrieve desired data from a first database 11, a second database 12 and a third database 13. Since the number of data is very huge, the user may miss some data or get the wrong data. In addition, the user must switch between those databases 11, 12 and 13, so some errors may occur due to the distraction of the user. Besides, when the specific data are retrieved, it is necessary to manually check the data by the user so as to determine whether the data are correct or not. Above all, since the databases might be heterogeneous databases, the user must update the specific data to each of databases one by one after the check process. [0006] Thus, no matter to retrieve, check or update the specific data, the user must link to each of the databases and then execute the necessary instruction(s). In this case, it is impossible to complete the retrieving, checking, and updating processes by only one single interface. Moreover, the complex operation processes may make the user have some mistakes, resulting in fail to get correct data, and the data updating process may incorrect due to the user's mistakes. [0007] To overcome the previously mentioned problem caused by the database link operation, a master database 15 can be built, and a translating program is developed to download the data from other databases and then to save the download data in the master database 15. As shown in FIG. 1B, the data in the first database 11, the second database 12 and the third database 13 can be downloaded to a first database copy 151, a second database copy 152 and a third database copy 153 stored in the master database 15 via the translating program. The user can operate the client device 14 to create a connection with the master database 15, and then to execute database instructions so as to retrieve desired data from the first database copy 151, the second database copy 152 and the third database copy 153. [0008] However, in the conventional art as mentioned above, if the master database 15 is unable to use the translating program to download the updating data from other databases immediately, it can not instantaneously represent the actual data in other databases. Thus, the user may retrieve some data from the master database 15, and the retrieved data are different from the current data shown in other databases. In addition, the data transmission speed between the databases is constrained by the network quality and the bandwidth of the network. Thus, when the network is unstable and the bandwidth is insufficient, the download procedure via the translating program may spend lot of time. Therefore, the data update becomes inefficient, and the data in the master database 15 might be not instantaneous and correct. [0009] It is therefore an important subjective of the invention to provide instantaneous integrated system and method of heterogeneous databases, which can immediately link to other heterogeneous databases and integrate data from different databases according to the instantaneous instructions issued by a user. Thus, the data prepared for the user is instantaneous and correct. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0010] In view of the foregoing, the invention is to provide instantaneous integrated system and method of heterogeneous databases, which can immediately integrate data from heterogeneous databases. [0011] To achieve the above, an instantaneous integrated system of heterogeneous databases of the invention includes at least one first-type database, a computing device and a database exchanging platform. The computing device includes a second-type database and a user interface. A first instantaneous instruction is issued from the user interface. The database exchanging platform establishes at least one first instruction according to the first instantaneous instruction, selects first data from the first-type database according to the first instruction, translates the format of the first data to produce second data, and transmits the second data to the computing device. Wherein, the second data match the format of the second-type database. [0012] In addition, the invention discloses an instantaneous integrated method of heterogeneous databases, which is performed when a database exchanging platform receives a first instantaneous instruction issued from a user interface of a computing device. The instantaneous integrated method includes the steps of: establishing at least one first instruction by the database exchanging platform according to the first instantaneous instruction; selecting first data from at least one first-type database by the database exchanging platform according to the first instruction; translating the format of the first data to produce second data by the database exchanging platform, wherein the second data match the format of a second-type database; and transmitting the second data from the database exchanging platform to the computing device. [0013] As mentioned above, the instantaneous integrated system and method of heterogeneous databases of the invention utilize the database exchanging platform to instantaneously link to each of the heterogeneous databases and to integrate data from each database according to the instantaneous instruction. Thus, the user can instantaneously and correctly retrieve the data of the heterogeneous databases.
